MethodThe author started instruction for the course in 2018 using the traditional classroom lecturemethod using the learning management system (LMS) "Blackboard" (Bb). However, theassessment approaches and lessons learned apply to other LMSs. The course migrated to ahybrid delivery in 2019. The LMS and video conferencing (Zoom) technology facilitated themigration in delivery methods. This trend continued, and the course went entirely online in theSpring of 2020 with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. During this period in 2020, the authorbecame aware of the “flipped classroom” delivery method. [14] The syllabus was reworked tomove the lecture material out of the classroom into video presentations ranging in length from 10to 45 minutes. [13] Each

Flipped-Style Classroom Instruction for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Students Abstract During the Spring 2020 semester at Old Dominion University (ODU), a completely onlinemode of instruction was adopted to arrest the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak.As a consequence, each unit within the university was practically required to make its ownarrangement to ensure the students and faculty were well equipped to smoothly transition to thenew mode of instruction and at the same time, ensure student success in the program. TheDepartment of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at ODU responded with aneffective strategy to equip its faculty with a cost

, laboratory instructional materials were modified andintroduced to students in the Fall 2019 semester. One of the most significant modifications wasincluding more SPICE circuit simulations as part of the prelab assignments students completedbefore performing the lab exercises. The intent was to augment numerical calculations with thewaveform simulations that produced circuit output waveforms much like students would see withtheir breadboarded circuits. Another major modification was production of short videos thataddressed lab test equipment operation with emphasis on the oscilloscope. The lab instructionsthemselves were edited to improve circuit schematic diagrams, clarify procedures, and includemore comprehensive background theory.To help determine

ultimate goal isto promote deeper cross-cultural understandings of creativity and provide actionable guidance forthe teaching and learning of creative design capabilities.2. Research of Culture Difference in Engineering EducationCulture plays a constructive role in engineering identity, behavior and ability (Rover, 2008;Markus & Hamedani, 2019). Traditionally, however, partly due to the perceived rationality ofengineering science and its practice (Vincenti, 1900; Bucciarelli & Kuhn, 2018), the cultural natureof engineering practice (i.e., engineering is cultural) is greatly undermined (David, 2018). Inmulticultural engineering work settings, minority groups are left with the default option to learnand adapt to the dominant cultural values
unique opportunity from mathematics education presents itself for design educators and facilitators; that is, teaching with manipulatives. We seek to transfer such practices in mathematics education to design education and practice. Challenges exist for design researchers to carefully craft activities in design education mainly because of the open-endedness of problems, decision-making that takes place while designing, and the inherent uncertainties in the design problems. Ultimately, the goal is to develop students’ ability to flexibly transfer expertise to other contexts and new design challenges” (Ali, Kinach, & Lande, 2019).ImpactsBy sharing learning trajectories across multiple communities, we seek to change the

Four groups of students successfully constructed, launched, and retrieved their modelrockets.In summer 2019, three students participated in an onsite Arduino microcontroller project. In thisproject, students worked with mentors from the physics department to design, construct, and testfree fall apparatuses for use in three physics courses at the college. The students successfullydesigned, machined, and assembled lab quantities of free fall test apparatuses that have beenused by students in descriptive physics labs, physics for biological science majors labs, andphysics for physical scientists and engineers labs.
